Basil Vinaigrette

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Dressing/Sauces

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 3/4 cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Place the salt, sugar, mustard, shallot and basil in a blender or food processor. Pulse several times to combine. Scrape the sides of the blender down with a spatula. Add the vinegar and pulse again.

  2. 2 Turn the blender on low and take off the cap in the center of the blender’s lid. Slowly pour in the olive oil. It may sputter a little out of the open cap, so hold your hand over it to minimize splashing.

  3. 3 When the olive oil is incorporated, turn off the blender and scrape the sides down one more time. Cover and purée everything for 1-2 minutes.

  4. Store covered in the fridge for up to a week
